I'm caring for me, who's 96. After a stroke last April Isabel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isabel desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Isabel worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Part-time carer (eight months): $380
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
Thank you so much.
Updates from Isabel
Thank you all. We're at 25% now ($135). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Makati: I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. We're at 15% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending strength, Isabel. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
